🎯 面试问答总结¶
Q1: 什么是后预训练？与预训练和微调有什么区别？¶
A: 后预训练是在通用预训练模型基础上，使用领域特定数据进行继续预训练的过程： - 与预训练区别: 预训练使用通用语料，后预训练使用领域+通用混合数据 - 与微调区别: 微调使用任务标注数据，后预训练仍使用自监督学习 - 目标: 在保持通用能力基础上注入领域知识
Q2: 后预训练的数据配比策略是什么？¶
A: 经验验证的黄金比例是领域:通用 = 1:5 - 理论依据: 平衡领域增强与能力保持 - 实施方法: 每个batch内随机混合，确保比例稳定 - 调优空间: 可根据具体需求在1:3到1:8之间调整
Q3: 如何防止后预训练中的灾难性遗忘？¶
A: 多层面防护策略： - 数据层面: 保持足够比例的通用数据混合 - 训练层面: 使用较小学习率，单轮训练，梯度裁剪 - 监控层面: 定期评估通用基准，设置早停机制
Q4: 后预训练在什么场景下最有价值？¶
A: 最适用的三个场景： 1. 有大量领域语料 (>10亿token)且质量高 2. 领域知识密集型任务 (如医疗、法律、金融) 3. 需要保持通用能力 的专业应用
🚀 学习建议¶
- 理论理解: 深入理解后预训练的定位和价值
- 实践验证: 在小规模数据上验证配比和超参数
- 监控体系: 建立完整的能力评估和遗忘检测机制
